The Posthog CLI

> posthog-cli --help
The command line interface for PostHog 🦔

Usage: posthog-cli [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>

  query      Run a SQL query against any data you have in posthog. This is mostly for fun, and subject to change

  -h, --help         Print help
  -V, --version      Print version

Env-based Authentication

You can authenticate with PostHog interactively for using the CLI locally, but if you'd like to use it in a CI/CD pipeline, we recommend using these environment variables:

  • POSTHOG_CLI_HOST: The PostHog host to connect to [default: https://us.posthog.com]
  • POSTHOG_CLI_TOKEN: A posthog person API key.
  • POSTHOG_CLI_ENV_ID: The ID number of the project/environment to connect to. E.g. the "2" in https://us.posthog.com/project/2
